MUSICALS - ALL AMERICAN CO-ED(1941)

LOL! I watched this and didn't review it! It wasn't
really a terrible movie, just not memorable! C+

From IMDb.com:

This film is one of Hal Roach's "streamliners" that
was made during the 1940s. A wild opening credit
sequence puts the titles over some gorgeous legs.
When the credits end, the camera moves up to reveal
that the legs all belong to guys! Yes, this cute
comedy does bear a certain resemblance to the later,
more famous, "Some Like It Hot", in that Johnny
Downs, our hero goes undercover in drag at an
all-girls school. Frances Langford is along to
supply some pretty singing, and there is a
production number at the end which is reminiscent
of Ziegfeld. This is one more film in my Mill
Creek musical compilation. These films are
underrated gems which deserve to be seen. - earlytalkie

MUSICALS - FIESTA(1941)

This starts out bad(Mexican music), and then
takes a turn for the worse(a very shill woman
worbelling)!!!!!! If not for those two things,
this movie would have been really bad! As it is
it's horrible!! D

From IMDb.com:

John Carroll has always been one of my favorite
actors, but Hollywood just didn't seem to notice
his appeal. He was a very good looking and talented
actor. I saw many of his movies and really enjoyed
seeing him on the screen. - dol-lin

MUSICALS - LET'S GO COLLEGIATE(1941)

By the name you would think that this would be
about kids in college! Welp, it is! The main
story is about a rowing crew whose main man is
drafted and they need a replacement! Not a terrible
movie but pretty predictible!

To its credit, this has the ever funny Mantam
Moreland and the wonderful Keye Luke in it!!
However, this is NOT a musical!! B

From IMDb.com:

When the star rower for Rawley University gets
drafted, resourceful Frankie Darro (as Frankie
Monahan) and student pal Jackie Moran (as Tad)
hire husky Frank Sully (as Hercules "Herk"
Bevans) to pose as the absent boatman. The
plan backfires when Mr. Sully romances his
new friends' cute college girlfriends, Gale
Storm (as Midge Lawrence) and Marcia Mae
Jones (as Bess Martin). Listen for Ms. Storm
to sing "Look What You've Done to Me",
sidekick Keye Luke (as Buck Wing) to add
a little Chinese philosophy, and servile
Mantan Moreland (as Jeff) to sing the
line "Is you callin' a spade a spade?"

MUSICALS - MURDER WITH MUSIC(1941)

Pretty boring! C-

From IMDb.com:

To get it out of the way at the beginning, the
film was made in either late 1946 or early 1947,
not 1941. We know this for two reasons: (1) In
the scene in the secretary's office, there's a
poster on the wall for Stepin Fetchit's movie
"Big Timers", which was a 1945 film, and (2)
there was no "Nellie Hill" (or "Nelle" as it's
misspelled in the credits) in 1941; Nellie
Harrell didn't marry Charles Wesley Hill until
1942. The acting is horrendous; fortunately,
the music is really good. Not a spoiler,
but ask yourself this: "how, exactly, do
you know the piano player is dead?"

This movie was originally shot as "Mistaken
Identity", although it's unclear if it was
ever released at the time. It was then cut
up, some new scenes filmed, and reassembled
as "Murder With Music" (the scenes from
"Mistaken Identity" were intercut as
flashbacks). - marvy42

MUSICALS - ROAD SHOW(1941)

A man tries to get out of getting married by
acting crazy! It backfires and he gets thrown
into an asylum where he meets up with another
crazy that helps him escape to the outside
world! The two get picked up by a girl who
owns a circus, and the rest is history! B

From IMDb.com:

With the help of the eccentric Captain Calloway,
a millionaire escapes from the asylum to which he
was committed by his jilted bride-to-be and falls
in with a travelling circus. A modest but enjoyable
Hal Roach comedy in which anonymous leading man
John Hubbard largely plays second fiddle to lead
support, Adolphe Menjou. Hubbard's reaction when
coming face-to-face with a lion is priceless,
however... - JoeytheBrit
